Chevron Birthday Cake

For Adelle's birthday I wanted to make a cake that was simple and clean looking to go with our theme. While shopping for fondant I found these sugar sheets. First we covered the cake with fondant (my sister did this part). Then we used the Hambly Chevron and Chevron Mash-up paper as a template to cut the sugar sheets. I used scissors to cut out the designs.

After I cut out a few designs, I found it easiest to tape the chevron paper directly on the protective liner of the sugar sheets and cut through all the layers.

Once I removed the protective backing, I used a little bit of water to help the chevrons stick on the cake. The hardest part was lining up the designs. I had to fake it a bit, but it turned out okay.
